Art of Spiritual Guidance by Carolyn Gratton

Already recognized as an essential reference for both guides and those seeking guidance, this eminently readable work integrates into one coherent whole a wide variety of psychological and spiritual insights about spiritual formation. A book to reflect on, to ponder, to peruse more than once, and to consult frequently.--Book Nook.
Gratton, Carolyn: - Dr. Carolyn Gratton has written Discovering the Art of Soul
Friending to help you become a trustworthy soul friend, if you feel invited to offer such a gift. She brings the wisdom of her many years of experience with spiritual counselling and religious formation. She also offers the fruit of wide reading and
insights from her work as a clinical psychologist.

Given the importance of life-context in spiritual listening, this book is partly autobiographical. Carolyn shares some discoveries that kept her growing and learning in her retirement years, including her exposure to the wisdom of China and of India and her work with Father Thomas Keating, OCSO and the Contemplative Outreach network that he founded.

A lifelong member of the International Grail Movement, and for many years a professor at Duquesne University's Institute of Formative Spirituality, Carolyn Gratton has also written Guidelines for Spiritual Direction (1980), Trusting (1982), and The Art of Spiritual Guidance (1992)....
